6. The SS America 1898
This awesomely named ship was one of the victims of the Isle royale, previously mentioned. Built in 1898, it sank 30 years later in 1928, striking a reef and capsizing off the coast of the island. It had a bumpy history in this area of the great lakes and had a similar incident in 1924, the only difference being that she was refloated, repaired and returned to service. In 1927, she took some damage by colliding with another steamboat but would make it out alive. In 1928, she was on her normal route from the town of Duluth Minnesota when the captain decided to hand over the wheel to the first mate for 5 minutes until it hit a reef again, this time it would not be able to float again. A group of divers during the 1960’s attempted to raise the ship and put her in service as a museum ship unsuccessfully. Today you can still visit the SS America which is only sitting about 85 feet below the surface.
5. USS Keystone State
In November 1861, members of the Wisconsin militia were expecting a large shipment of weapons from the large ship called the USS Keystone state, but they never got their arms. This was an elaborate ship and was dubbed the Palace Steamers from it’s comfortable design. Certainly...

Many of these ships were never found, so the exact number of shipwrecks in the Lakes is unknown; the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum approximates 6,000 ships and 30,000 lives lost, while historian and mariner Mark Thompson has estimated that the total number of wrecks is likely more than 25,000.
